The snow we got last night came with a lot of wind, so it's banked up pretty good. I'm going to take some pictures before I start this morning - it's
hard to describe the accumulation we've got. We're now past 400cm for the winter (so far).
I hear you're getting rain instead. Is it freezing, too?

Northern NB got hit with the same storm yesterday and last night, but thankfully all we got was heavy rains. It's taken away a good portion of snow, but we've still got some on the ground. It's overcast and +5 here at the moment.

as u know ottawa probably got the worse of it lol anyways i was out driving last night and going up the hill/big slope leading up to my condo building and guess what some moron got stuck in the snow.. long story short trying to go around him got me stuck too.........after some time and lot of effort i managed to get back into my own tracks and reverse down and take an alternative route.... moral of the story? if the idiot hadnt gotten stuck I would have gone thru the snow easy, was doing fine all the way till i was behind him.
my condo is atop a hill, so i had to go up another steephish slope.. no problem what so ever, plowed my way thur... vdc off...
it was sliding here n there abit but with the snow not much places it could go..

Nice 'beater' Sam,,, but what's the colour???
Yikes, Ian.....that's some drift you had there......
We got mucho snow too but the drift the plow left was like none other.....Took me and Marg about an hour to clear. Must have been 3' by about 6'.....
Isn't this winter lovely.......
Let's all hope Spring isn't too far off and NO MORE FREAKIN' SNOW...

Before and after shots - clearing the driveway today. This is just the 32cm that fell Saturday night. I had already cleared the 20cm that fell Friday night.
This puts us at 410.7cm so far this winter (13 ft. 6 in.). Enough, already.
(This is Ottawa, by the way)
(Please excuse my son-in-law's POS beater - my daughter was visiting).
